Hail of Fire WWII Rules

Hail of Fire is a set of pay-what-you-want wargames rules for company level games in World War II. The authors write.

“Hail Of Fire” is a company-level, WWII themed miniatures war game designed to be both simple and easy to learn while keeping both players engaged in the action! And best of all, the rules are only few pages long! So print out the PDF, throw some models on the table, and jump right into an exciting tabletop brawl!

Using a fast, interactive turn sequence, players are always in the fight. The addition of hidden action points, fast and easy deployment, and a delayed combat resolution system ensures that both commanders will be fighting the friction and fog of war as much as they are each other!
